Hasselblad H2 user manual Automatic Exposure A, S, P, Pv

4	A ‘+ 0.3’ above the scale in the display, as in illustration 4 for ex-
	ample, would indicate a ‘0.3 EV overexposure’ setting. Conversely,
	a ‘-2’ , for example, would indicate a ‘2EV underexposure’ set-
	ting. Note that the appearance of a +/- symbol on the grip and
	viewfinder LCDs in manual mode means that a change has been
	made to the exposure compensation setting. See later section on
	‘Exposure compensation’.
	The actual aperture settings and shutter speeds are indicated to the
	right of the exposure scale in the conventional manner. (Note: ‘full-
	stops’, ‘half-stops’ and ‘third-stops’ are also displayed, according
	to setting (see ‘increment setting). For example, a setting between
	f/8 and f/11 will appear as f/9,5 if ‘half-stop’ is chosen).
	The B shutter speed position is active and therefore consumes
	battery power.
	The T shutter speed position, however, is equivalent to the standby
	mode regarding battery consumption. For exposures longer than
	five minutes, use the long exposure setting instead that automati-
	cally activates the standby mode after 4 minutes.

		AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE — A, S, P, Pv
		Automatic exposure provides a choice of two ways of controlling
		shutter speed and aperture settings semi-automatically and two
		ways fully automatically:
1	2	Aperture priority: A - The aperture is manually chosen by
		you by turning the front control wheel, and the shutter speed is
		automatically chosen by the camera.
	EXP	Shutter priority: S - The shutter speed is manually chosen by
		you by turning the front control wheel, and the aperture is auto-
	�	matically chosen by the camera.
		Programmed: P - In this mode, an aperture / shutter combi-
		nation is chosen by the camera according to the EV measured
		(metering method remains as your choice), though only within
		pre-set appropriate limitations to suit various requirements and
	3	applications.
		Programmed variable: Pv - This mode is very similar to
		Programmed, except with the additional parameters of lens fo-
		cal length being automatically taken into account. For example,
		long shutter speeds will automatically be avoided with a long focal
	�����	length lens.
	����	To set one of the modes, proceed as follows with the camera in ac-

tive mode:

1) Press the EXP button on the viewfinder.

2) Turn the front control wheel (either direction) until you reach the required setting.

3) Press Save (DRIVE button) to retain the setting.

In Automatic mode the front control wheel selects alternative combinations while maintaining the same EV and the rear control wheel alters the amount of exposure compensation. The compen- sation appears as a+/- symbol on the grip LCD and viewfinder LCD. Other combinations that are outside the parameters offered by the Pv mode (but nevertheless still provide correct exposure) are signified by a double arrow symbol appearing between the aperture and speed settings on the grip LCD.
